Abstract: A study including measures of spirituality, religiosity, and wellness was conducted to identify coping strategies for
the multiple challenges to wellness faced by low-income, rural women. Total spirituality and religiosity accounted for
39% of the variance in wellness, with purpose and meaning in life, unifying interconnectedness, and private religious
practices composing the main contributions. Implications for counselors working with these women are discussed, as
is the need for further research.
